Another marriage insurance association

citation, of Reading, Pa, has collapsed, and
there is much grief in Pennsylvania in con-
sequence. The Secretary and Treasurer

in vain for the return of their money. The

The immigrant who comes with money to in

1t seems that evictions are not confined to
Ireland. Since April 10 the miners en-
ployed by J. s. Wentz & Co. at their mines
near Hazleton, Pa, have been on strike.
Wentz & Co. refused all offers of arbitra-
ton, and on last Saturday commenced The
forcihle eviction of the strikers under cir
cumstances of peculiar hardship and oppreS-
sion. Helpless women and children were
forced to leave their houses, and were com
PEELED TO spend nights on the hillsidcs in the
open air. 1t is alleged that Wentz q Co.
arranged so as to prevent the strikers ficm
receiving assistance from the villagers.
Much indignation is felt in Pennsylvania on
account of the cruel cvictions.

The Luscious Watermelon.
Ei.on, the Ne,n Ynrk TLth,lne lRenN

The colored people of Georgia may well put
cheerful courage on. There is a rosy future
just ahead of them The Camilla Clarion reports
that the watermelon vines are blooming, and
that the stand is rather better than usual. y"
The editor of the Clarion would seem to be
partial to watermelon himself. For he con-
cludes an account of the present appearance of
the lucious fruit with the significant remark
that the Ctofion'S latch-stTing will be hanging
out for the first fine melon of the season in a
very few weeks" It is to be hoped that as soon
as may be consistent with the full rpening of
the melon the latch string may be rewarded.

Mr.. Richard NJ. Henry read paf'Sr entitled
'Who Shall Have the Oflcesf" Political
parties" said Mr. Henry, ''aro necessary,
and cannot exist without politicians A
politician, when he is dead, becomesa states
man. He is caterpillar while he lives, a
butterfly when he dies. Politicians are the
men who vote often--once at each election I;
who join political organization; who at

hours during the year to public affairs, and
who contribute regularly small sum
toward tho necessary expenses Of politics. :"
Mr.. Henry declared That he did not believe
in a non-partisan government; the offices,
national, State and city, should be filed
from tho dominant party. The paper was
not discussed, but the fact that it WINS loudly
applauded seems to indicate that The mem

which was perversion Of tho consti-
tuition of tho United Statcs.n He
failed TO send an explanatory chart of his
